Here we thought the High Line was a celeb magnet... (Curbed

At Christine Ebersole cabaret party last night, New York magazine asked Matthew Broderick if he had ever been up on the High Line. His answer may—or may not—surprise you.

“I didn’t go up to the High Line, which I live two blocks from,” Mr. Broderick told party reporter Jennifer Vineyard. “That’s when you really know you’re from New York — you don’t even bother when something is 100 feet from your house, even when everyone’s talking about it!”

Funny, and here we thought he and his lovely wife had moved to the central Village. Maybe he’s never been to Washington Square Park, either.
